Ways to save on cooking

To cut back on the cost of cooking, consider switching to energy efficient appliances and follow these tips:

Family cooking natural gas stove

Save while using your stove

  • Use the burner size that matches your pot.
  • Flat-bottomed pans make greater contact with your burner.
  • Use lids to conserve heat and speed up cooking time.
  • Turn your burner down once liquids boil.
Family cooking natural gas oven

Save while using your oven

  • Defrost food before cooking to cut energy use by a third.
  • Don’t pre-heat your oven for dishes that take over an hour to cook.
  • Avoid opening your oven door- 20 percent of the heat escapes each time you do. 
  • Turn your oven off a few minutes before the timer- the remaining heat will finish the job.

Tips for buying stoves and barbecues

Cooking with gas is a reliable and affordable option. With so many natural gas stoves and barbecues to choose from, picking the perfect appliance for your cooking needs can be challenging. Consider these tips to find the perfect fit for inside and outside your property.

Always ensure that a certified HVAC technician completes the installation.

Buying a natural gas stove, oven or range

  • Self-cleaning ovens are better insulated and save energy.
  • Stay safe by choosing a model with knobs mounted on the front or side of the stove so you don’t have to reach over hot elements when you are cooking.
  • Look for ovens with safety features such as auto-lock, auto-shut off or time-controlled shut off to help keep your family safe.

Buying a natural gas barbecue

  • Most barbecues allow you to choose your fuel source. Make sure that the one you choose is compatible with natural gas.
  • Barbecues with fat drainage systems will help reduce flare-ups.
  • Warming racks, side-burners and food prep areas are great add-ons that make grilling an entire meal easy and convenient.
  • Two-burner systems have better heat control and work well for indirect cooking.
